Saving Libby

Untitled Part 5

Chapter 4 ©Catt

I can't believe I am sitting in this field waiting on Logan Turner. He is late but I figured that's due to him having my stepbrother take him to meet up with his pot dealer. I should have known he would be into that kind of thing.

My stomach is growling letting me know it needs food when I look at my watch I see I have been here forty five minutes. I've waited long enough on him. He has probably gotten high with Bo and forgotten he blackmailed me into coming here. Standing up I brush the grass off my skinny jeans and start walking home.

I'm halfway across the field when I hear Logan's voice yelling for me to stop. I decide to ignore him and pretend I never heard him. At least I can say I held up my end of the deal. It's not my fault if he didn't show up on time. I pick my pace up trying to walk faster over the high grass.

I hear him gaining on me. I'm shocked he's caught up to me. How the hell can someone of his massive frame move so dang fast? Deciding it's useless to keep walking I stop and turn around to face him. I make sure to put an irritated look on my face. The last thing I need is for him to believe that I am interested in him. Which I'm not, he might be gorgeous and make my heart skip a few beats but that's as far as I can allow it to go.

"Hey, I'm sorry I'm late but your brother got to talking with Tommy and I couldn't get him to shut up and leave." He runs his fingers through his already messy hair.

"Yea okay whatever....I showed up like I promised I would it's not my problem if you were late. I expect you to keep your word and keep your mouth shut about yesterday." I place my hands on my hips trying to look intimidating which I know I'm failing at by the smile on his face.

"I won't say a word about yesterday I am a man of my word but I can't say the same thing about keeping quiet about you being here today." His smirk is once again in place because he knows he has me.

"Why are you doing this? Can't you see I want nothing to do with you?" I demand. Even as the words are leaving my mouth I know I'm lying. But he's a liability I can't afford to have in my life.

"How can you say you don't want anything to do with me you don't even know me yet?" He cocks his eyebrow at me.

"Your right I don't know you and I don't want to get to know you, besides you are friends with my stepbrother that tells me everything I need to know." I move my hands from my hips crossing them across my chest imitating his stance from earlier.

"Are you always such a bitch?" He asks his voice going hard.

"Yea actually I am." God I hate telling him that. I hate the idea of him thinking of me like everyone else at school does but I have no other choose. What I'm doing is for his benefit as well as my own.

"Everyone at school has told me how much of a stuck up snob you are. That you think you are above the rest of us. I thought they were lying but it looks like they were telling the truth." His voice is still cold and his eyes are showing just how pissed off he is.

"Yea well they are telling you the truth so with that said have a good life Logan and stay the hell out of mine." I turn to walk away again but the sound of his voice and the words that come out of his mouth have me stopping and whirling back around to face him.

"You can't be serious." I challenge.

"Oh but I am very serious princess. Now that I know you are such a snobby bitch and will hate every minute of it I have to do it." His smirk is back full force.

"You are going to blackmail me again?" I can't believe this. Why can't he be like everyone else and leave me alone?

"Blackmail is such a harsh word." He comes back with.

"Well what else would you call it then? You are saying I will have to meet you every day even though I don't want to and if I don't you will tell my stepbrother on me." I scream.

"You should look at it more as me doing you a favor than blackmail. I mean think about it, you get to spend time alone with me which I have girls lining up to do by the way so you should consider yourself lucky."

"Be still my heart. Thank you so much for blackmailing me into spending time with you. I can't fathom the reason I would not be jumping up and down for joy." I retort in an angry voice. I can't believe he is doing this to me. How am I supposed to keep meeting up with him without anyone ever finding out?

"I've been asking myself that very question princess?"

"Shut up and stop calling me princess I have a name."

"Yea I know you have a name but I also know it aggravates the hell out of you when I don't use it."

He plops down on the grass and tells me to set down as well. I look at my watch and see my hour is up I need to get to the house or he will know something is up.

"Look we will have to talk about this more tomorrow but right now I've got to get home."

I turn around and walk away with those words. I can't believe he doesn't try to stop me but I guess he knows he has me right where he wants me and there is nothing I can do about it. I have no idea the reason he is doing this to me. I have to be a game to him. He can't stand that I'm not falling at his feet. What he doesn't get is I can't fall at his feet I can't like him I can't even be friends with him.

I've been going about this all wrong with him. He is only taking my bad attitude as a challenge. Therefore I need to come up with another plan before I meet up with him tomorrow. I hate the way my heart speeds up at the thought of seeing him again.

When I step through the front door of my house Bo is standing in the kitchen. He meets me before I can even put my books down.

"Hey, did you get your report finished?" His brown eyes study mine waiting for my reply.

"Yea I got it finished. It took me a while but thank god I'm done."

"Good, I'm sorry I couldn't stay and help I really did want to."

"It's alright I understand. Your Mr. popular, your friends need you, you can't let them down." I set my book bag in the floor beside the couch without making eye contact with him as I speak.

"I tell you what, I'm going to make it up to you tomorrow. It's time for you to start having fun Libby. You need to start getting out of this house so tomorrow is Friday and I'm going out to a party with the guys and you're coming with me. Will even go and get ice cream before we meet up with everyone else. How does that sound?"

My heart jumps at the thought. Bo has never asked me to go anywhere with him. I can't believe he is even asking me now. "Um...what about your dad do you think he will let me go?" I question.

"Don't worry about him I'll take care of everything. Now lets you and I go and stuff our face." He throws his arm over my shoulder pulling me close to side and kisses the top of my head the way he always does as we walk to the backyard.
